When John Strangways and Mary Trueblood disappear from their 'post' in Jamaica, M., the Head of the British Secret Service, who is led to believe by appearances that these two have run off together, decides to send James Bond, agent 007, who still needs rest and recreation, there. For a man who got a hefty dose of 'fugu' and yet managed to survive, this mission is just right, and Bond shares the same opinion. He is therefore awaited by a tropical landscape with palm trees, bright sun, and of course calypso music. However, things do not seem to be exactly like that... By asking his questions here and there, Bond will also reach Crab Key, a fortress island, home of the unseen DR. NO, where the games come to an end. For our hero, who just escaped from the Tetrodotoxin that a beautiful K.G.B. agent made sure to administer to him, this ordeal seems to be tougher and infinitely more dangerous. Whether he likes it or not, he will make the acquaintance of this strange DR. NO who awaits him and who reserves for his visitor a hefty, calculated dose of torture ending, in all cases, in certain death! [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
